Know Thyself

The Game of Temperaments

About this item

Discover the secret building blocks of your personality with this fun and enlightening game that reveals players' temperaments – the personal qualities that make them who they are!

We are all born with distinct personality traits. Some love going to parties, while others seek solitude. Some are naturally brash and assertive, while others are content to just get along.

We don't pick and choose these character features; they're just part of the way we're made.

Ancient philosophers identified four basic temperaments that wise thinkers through the ages have used to understand human nature.

Now comes Know Thyself! The Game of Temperaments – the first game to help you identify, understand, and appreciate your own temperament, and those of your friends and family.

Take charge or follow the lead? Jump in feet first or analyze and contemplate? Introvert or extrovert? Focused or distractible?

All of these traits point to the temperament you were born with. Which one is yours, and how much of the others do you have?

So a number of my family members are a little skeptical about the Four Temperaments and personality theory. We’ve all had a few experiences of feeling a little pigeonholed by friends who have just discovered personality theories and are eager to apply them. It was with a little hesitation that I introduced this game to my family, but we found it quite interesting! As we had suspected, most of us ended up with a range of cards representing two or three of the primary personality Temperaments. This was a great reminder that most of us are a mix of the four temperaments! Some of the cards seemed kind of negative. We gravitated towards the positive attributes, for a friendly, affirming family game! It was pretty fun and made for great conversation and some good laughs as we guessed who chose which cards and which cards we liked best!

Like Apples to Apples but Catholic and Temperaments

This game is a blast! We had so much fun playing it! I plan to give this as gift for all upcoming occasions.

Amazing game. My family and friends loved this one at our party, especially the Sleepy Joe card! Really got a kick out of everyone and was a huge hit. 10/10 recommend!

8/10

The game is nice overall, but there was a card that said "Sleepy Joe Biden." I don't see why they had to put that in there, it offended someone at my party and I had to remove that card. It's unnecessary.
